Remember the pile of magazines from last week's home organization week #46 project? Well, that's what we tackled for this week's project. We get more print magazines now than ever before. Are you wondering why in the age of digital would we get more print magazines? Our local newspaper went from delivering the paper 7-days… Continue reading Home Organization Project 47

DIY projects for the home and in the garden. Projects that reuse items are my favorite!
Home Organization Project 46
It's not really fair to blame this week's home organization project on a jar of homemade jam, but I'm going to do it anyway. It all began this summer when we made jam - and for once we canned it instead of making freezer jam. We needed jam (kids and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches… Continue reading Home Organization Project 46
Home Organization Project 44
This is week #44 of our ongoing home organization project. This crazy weekly clean-out was our New Year's Resolution for the year. My plan was to do several projects ahead of time and then write about them. What's actually happening is that I'm completely scrambling on Fridays and spending the afternoon cleaning, organizing, and sorting… Continue reading Home Organization Project 44
Home Organization Project 43
Is it Friday again? Must be time for another home organization project! This is week #43 of our year-long clear out stuff and own less project - which was our New Year's Resolution for this year. I checked the master list yesterday to see how many projects I have left - since I'm trying to… Continue reading Home Organization Project 43
Green and Clean Glass and Shiny Surface Cleaner
Now that you know what I use for green and clean all purpose cleaning and why we're letting fewer chemicals into our home, let's get a shine on with this green 'cleaner' - which is probably in your pantry already. You simply won't believe how easy this is! As consumers, we're told by companies that… Continue reading Green and Clean Glass and Shiny Surface Cleaner
Home Organization Project 41
This week's home organization project - if you're new - hello! - as part of this year's New Year's Resolution, each week, we're cleaning and sorting out a different area of our house. This is week #41 of the year long project and it's getting easier to get rid of stuff. For years I've kept… Continue reading Home Organization Project 41
Green and Clean All Purpose Household Cleaner
Because we've decided to allow fewer chemicals into our home, it's changed the way we do things. At first it was a hassle - having a new routine always is, isn't it? Now, it's how we live. We have been completely tricked into thinking the 'green' and 'natural' and 'household' and 'anti-bacterial' cleaners that are… Continue reading Green and Clean All Purpose Household Cleaner
Home Organization Project 39
This week's home organization project is actually a clean and sort out that takes place every October. I call it 'National Match Up Day' and am trying to get it recognized by home cooks everywhere. We need a day to take stock of our food storage containers and sort through - broken lids, missing tops,… Continue reading Home Organization Project 39
Home Organization Project 38
What do you wear when you're painting your house? What do you wear when you're doing yard work? Where do you keep those DIY clothes? Or as we call them, "Work on the House Clothes." Those clothes are kept in a no-nonsense cabinet in the basement - next to the tool room. The tool room… Continue reading Home Organization Project 38
Home Organization Project 37
Whew! That's all there is to say. Since we began this weekly home organization project - clean out and reduce the amount of stuff accumulating in our home or move - at the beginning of the year, we've been needing to tackle this room. The Tool Room. If you missed the before of the tool… Continue reading Home Organization Project 37
